Author: (SWEBACH, Jacques François Joseph)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 35 pp. 8vo, brown leather-backed marbled boards. Paris: 1824. Scarce sale catalogue inventorying the collection of Swebach-Desfontaines (1769-1823), a talented painter and director of the imperial porcelain manufactory in Saint Petersburg for several years; WorldCat records no example in North American institutions. His choice collection, described across 268 lots, was well-regarded at the time. The contents of his studio and apartment were also offered at the auction. The catalogue opens with a useful biography of the artist and his prolific career. A very good copy; foxing throughout. ❧ Lugt 10641.

Seller: Walkabout Books

Title: Notes of a Twenty-five Years' Service in the Hudson's Bay Territory
Author: M'lean, John
Seller: Walkabout Books (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: London: Richard Bentley, 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes. 7.75" x 4.75", pp xii, [13]-308; vii, [1], [9]-328 pp, in original brown blindstamped cloth, spines decorated in gilt, patterned endpapers with publisher's advertisements. Chipping to cloth at spine ends, old repairs visible at joints, but still an attractive set, uncommon in the original cloth. Wagner-Camp 169: "John McLean entered the service of the Hudson's Bay Company during the winter of 1820-21 and worked in the Ontario area for the next decade. He was then sent to New Caledonia by way of the Saskatchewan River and to Fort St. James on Stuart's Lake in British Columbia. Streeter finds McLean's style entertaining but the Company's methods of suppressing competition prosecutable under present United States law." Field 996: "the largest portion of these volumes is devoted to the narration of incidents of travel among the Indians of the territory; descriptions of the life, habits, and character of the different tribes inhabiting it, and the relations of the Hudson's Bay Company to them. All of the statements of the author confirm the most authentic accounts of others....The last volume terminates with a vocabulary of Indian dialects." Graff 2640; Smith 6418; Streeter VI: 3712; Sabin 43514; TPL 2729.
